But you're right, that's a lot for everyday drinking—for me it's pretty much limited to weekend bottles, and I'd be embarrassed to admit what I'm drinking on weeknights to keep this up!Michael S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-20402959380253589862008-02-28T13:01:00.000-05:002008-02-28T13:01:00.000-05:00felicien - you're right. i just remembered lye fas...felicien - you're right. i just remembered lye fass telling me that it is made from the same plot as Roty's Presonniers, called Presonniers maybe?<BR/><BR/>no prob michael. missed out on the nudant then. hard to decide which of these to try because even though they're under $30, it's still $30...twice the amount i tend to pay for everyday drinking wines.Brooklynguyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-58562385240237751592008-02-28T12:23:00.000-05:002008-02-28T12:23:00.000-05:00Hi Brooklynguy—sorry to post anonymously—don't com...Hi Brooklynguy—sorry to post anonymously—don't comment that often and was in a hurry—I don't think we know each other but I enjoy reading your blog—CSW had the Nudant, but I think it's long gone. If I can't face the rest of my Sylvies, I'll let you know! Destemmed—that make sense.

In France first names are given to bottlings but not to plots or lieu-dits. The location could yet be called 'sylv'-something since this word root is used in many French words to mean forest.
